Umm...uh...uh.... did you have to ask?
Oh ,,. I see ...
Both came with nitrocellulose finishes over maple necks and translucent white on ash bodies but the Strat has seen quite a few more years than her Precision counterpart-

It was a mispost I just corrected, btw I had that album-
Now I see- regarding your original- good for you!
It's been a while since I was inducted (and assimilated) into the Thunderbird Club and I'm not sure if I posted anything about BeBop Deluxe or guitarist and lead vocalist Bill Nelson-
I'd rather do prison gigs. But not have to spend the nights though.
The only time I watched a Kylie Minoque video without feeling guilty-
I admit I've been a bit slow on the mark and out of practice - so ... Seven of 9, makes me wonder about the other eight!
This seems a little more that casual knowledge. Any stories we should know. Doesn't matter if they are true. We're gullible and will laugh at pretty much anything.
Went to the dermatologist two wks ago and I had a couple cancers. One was removed by cutting a chunk out of the edge of my ear. I have a bloody section and thought someone would ask. Told my wife if anyone did I was gong to tell them, "Well, it was during a moment of passion....." I got the "Don't" look. Or, that we got into a fight and she pulled a Mike Tyson on me. No has asked yet and I'm running out of scab and the door of opportunity is closing. She (Dr) will likely cut or buopsy something else tomorrow but the forehead doesn't really allow for a good story.

Couple of technical questions for you- since re-watching the Dave Mason video with his Bigsby-equipped Firebird V, I'm starting to GAS for a Firebird V or VII with a vibrato- btw a very long time ago I had a Bicentennial edition (no vibrato) which I traded for a 1959 Gretsch Tenneseean which had a Bigsby.
But they are pricier than I'm willing to spend at this time-
However, there are Epiphone versions that cost less-
Having noted that there are those here who have Epiphone versions of T-BIrds, I would like to ask what your overall experience has been with the Epiphone brand-
The second is what is a double-barred single coil pickup? Smiitty of MJS Pickups has explained it to me more than once over the phone but I keep forgetting, except the part about Rickenbacker having used that style in their bass pickups.
